The 1980s were crazy, the island beauty was too cruel

Chapter 21 How could such a cute soldier die of thirst?

When nine-thirty came, Director Liu showed up on time.

On the way, Director Liu accompanied Smiley and kept talking about how negative the other six educated youths at the Educated Youth Point were at their work. However, after one day of work, all four of them collapsed except for the two male educated youths.

If all the educated youths who come here are as good as Xiao Chu, Liu Jinjun will laugh out of his dreams!

Chu Yao originally had the sound coming in from her left ear and coming out from her right ear, but she felt that Director Liu was making a weird noise.

But when I heard the other party talking about the situation of other educated youths, I couldn't help but raise the corners of my lips.

In the face of strength, any small calculation will fall apart.

There is nothing wrong with hugging together for warmth, but it depends on what kind of people are together. If some people are too selfish, conflicts will soon break out...

In the military region, there is one sentry every five steps, even if it is In the 38-9 degree sun, the sentinels still stood as firm as pines, even if they were sweating profusely, their eyes remained determined.

"Report, I'm here to send little Chu educated youth to meet with Mr. Duan. Please verify."

"Well, please come in."

The sentry registered meticulously and signaled the two of them to enter a sealed room to ensure Chu Yao's safety. The person conducting the investigation was a female soldier. Her movements were gentle and her eyes were comforting.

After confirming that she was not carrying dangerous or prohibited items, she was released immediately.

Chu Yao didn't feel much at all. After all, she was going to meet the highest commander of the island's military region, Commander Duan.

Security checks are normal.

The same goes for Director Liu. He has obviously been here many times and is accustomed to this process.

Director Liu then led the way, his face serious, not at all noisy as on the way here.

After walking through the training ground and training camp for more than ten minutes, I came to the downstairs of a building.

Another inspection, more stringent than when they came in.

It can be seen how important this teacher Duan is.

Second floor.

Director Liu took Chu Yao to sit on a bench outside. After waiting for a few minutes, the guard came out and motioned for the lesbian to enter the room.

Chu Yao was not nervous at first, but after passing five levels and killing six generals, she suddenly became a little nervous.

"Don't panic, little Chu educated youth, Mr. Duan is very easy to talk to."

Director Liu comforted and encouraged little Chu educated youth.

Chu Yao: ...

After taking a deep breath, Chu Yao entered the room.

The room was very simple, not like a big shot's office at all.

In the middle of the desk, there was a pleasant-looking old man sitting.

The old man was wearing a Chinese tunic suit on such a hot day, which showed that his body and bones were ailing.

Chu Yao thought a lot in her mind. When she saw the person, she calmed down and bowed politely:

"Hello, sir~"

"Yes."

Mr. Duan was sitting in the upper seat, looking at the person with soft eyes. He looked ordinary. Is my little comrade really as good as Xiao Liu says?

"Please sit down."

"Thank you."

Chu Yao stepped forward, pulled out the chair, and sat across from the old man.

I don't want to think about it anymore.

Teacher Duan did not beat around the bush and said in a gentle tone:

"Comrade Xiao Chu, I heard from Xiao Liu that after you came to the island, you built a seawater distillation device for the islanders. I called you here this time mainly because I wanted to talk about it. This device can Will it be put into use on a large scale? "

"Sir, in front of you, I won't do anything to make you laugh.

The seawater distillation device I'm guiding the sea residents to build can only solve part of the needs of the islanders. I believe you can also think of this. The defect of the device is very obvious. It consumes firewood and damages the bottom of the pot.

It can alleviate the water demand of the islanders in the short term, but based on the current situation, it is not suitable for large-scale use."

Chu Yao said very straightforwardly. Weak, some materials are scarce and cannot be recycled.

Commander Duan touched his little finger and fell into deep thought. Seeing that the young comrade was curious, he briefly introduced the situation -

he came to this island a year ago, and under the decision from above, he established the Huludao First Marine Brigade. .

After the infrastructure was built, the first infantry regiment and infantry battalion came into being.

As the number of people increases, the island's fresh water resources are seriously insufficient!

At first, he thought about using supplies and going to nearby villages and towns to exchange water.

But which ferry boat or motorboat does not need diesel engine?

Once and twice, the transportation cost is too high!

The country is weak and military supplies are tight, so money needs to be spent everywhere!

In desperation, he reported to the superiors and asked for support.

In exchange, every month, the ship delivers water supplies three times.

Even so, the military and civilians on the island are really short on water.

Under his leadership, fresh water resources came first to the islanders, and the needs of the people came first.

The soldiers and their families were sitting in the back...

Now, Xiao Liu said that Comrade Xiao Chu was very talented and could make a seawater distillation device, so he took the idea...

"Master "How is the rainfall in Huludao? Have you ever thought about collecting rainwater and converting it into fresh water resources?"

After hearing this, Chu Yao felt deep respect for the soldiers.

She dared to say that Chinese soldiers were definitely the ceiling of the military circles of all countries!

Especially in this era, soldiers have played a major role in defending their home and country for one belief!

How could such a cute soldier die of thirst!

No, no, she thought, there are other ways.

"Well, it's not that I don't want to collect it, it's that I can't store it on a large scale. The existing containers can collect rainwater, but most of the land on Huludao is sandy and cannot store water!

And rainwater contains bacteria, even if it is boiled water for drinking If it goes on, it will also cause gastrointestinal discomfort..."

Mr. Duan sighed, and he and others tried every method he could think of, but with little success.

The quality of the purified rainwater is still poor and is only used for bathing and laundry.

"There is a technology abroad, not to mention that the equipment is expensive.

The equipment requires a lot of gasoline when desalinating seawater. Even if you buy the equipment, you don't need to worry about gasoline, but the gasoline has to be transported thousands of miles.

Similarly, seawater desalination It is generally not suitable for drinking, but is suitable for other domestic purposes or for watering plants and vegetables on the island. "

In this way, there is no need to purchase equipment, which is a waste of time and money.

Chu Yao didn't expect that Teacher Duan had already thought of it but failed. However, there might be another way -

"Dig a well. Have you tried this method?"

"Dig a well?"

Teacher Duan smiled and thought The little comrade is still too naive. This is an island, surrounded by sea water. This well is not still sea water!

"Yes, dig a well. As long as it is a big well and don't hit the mixed layer and seawater layer, you can get fresh water."

Chu Yao nodded. Seeing the teacher's confusion, she patiently explained:

"There is rainfall on Huludao. It is all fresh water, which collects and washes the ground on the island, forming gullies and then forming rivers.

In addition, gravel and a little soil will seep the rainwater into the ground.

However, the island's groundwater is distributed . Unlike land, most of the island's groundwater is occupied by infiltrated seawater. Although the coral reefs and rocks near the island will play a certain filtering role, over time, the groundwater will eventually turn into seawater.

At this time, rainfall will infiltrate . The density of freshwater entering the ground is smaller than that of seawater, so they will gather above the underground seawater layer. A layer of seawater mixed layer is formed between the freshwater layer and the seawater layer, which separates the two.
